What is NYAAP?

The New York Association for Analytical Psychology (NYAAP) is a professional society of Jungian analysts practicing primarily in the greater New York metropolitan area and throughout the United States and Canada.

Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

The First Jungian
Training Program
in America

The history of NYAAP is deeply intertwined with the history of analytical psychology in America. From the first gatherings of Jung's direct students in 1936 to today's thriving professional community, New York has been at the forefront of Jungian thought and practice in the United States.

History

1936 – The Beginning

The Analytical Psychology Club of New York formed, based on a similar club in Switzerland, to provide a forum for lectures and discussions about Jung's ideas. Eleanor Bertine, Kristine Mann, and Esther Harding—three pioneering physicians who had analyzed and studied directly with Jung—founded the New York Club. This marked the establishment of analytical psychology in New York and the first Jungian training program in the United States.
